By the time students reach the student teaching semester their senior year, they have already logged around 200 hours of classroom work experience! Not only have students spent time in four different classrooms, they have worked with a variety of teachers and have had the opportunity to think about teaching and learning in real settings.

During the senior year, students spend an entire semester working in a classroom under the direction of a classroom cooperating teacher and an Education Department faculty member.
